What Do You Call…

a) the thing a person keeps their cash in
b) the thing a person keeps coins in
c) the thing a person keeps the aforementioned things in

and do these terms vary depending on the gender of the person in question?

Public Purse Melbourne

Myself, I call them
a) a wallet (or possibly a purse, if it is basically a little bag with a fastening, as in picture above);
b) a purse (also as in picture above);
c) a bag, bilum or handbag.

I tend to avoid the words purse and handbag when referring to men’s accoutrements, since some consider those words apply only to women’s accoutrements and become uncomfortable and/or offended. And if I’m going to make people uncomfortable and/or offended, I’d rather it was intentional.

Gargoyle Chip Report III

Gargoyle Cambridge University (7028936637)
What cheer, my fellow gargoyleers?

Due to a busy week, I have little progress to report.
Mending sheets: central seams sewn on second sheet (try saying that five times fast).
Curtains: no progress.
Rose quilt: no progress.

How is’t with you?
